OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know the formulas for area/ circumference of a circle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

area = \[pie\]\[R2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the circumference?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats were i am lost .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Circumference = 2*pi*r OK?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you put 44 = 2pi r to get r and then put that in the other formula to get the area....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

U understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so would i do 44 * 2* 3.14 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. The formula is what I wrote 44 = 2pi r which means that r is 44 divided by 2pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now if you square that and multiply by pi you get the area.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 14 is my answer ?
